| The British are Coming! Anglophiles everywhere will adore this beautifully-filmed collection that exposes the English House and Garden through fascinating scholarship, reconstructions and visits to the finest examples of the breed. THE ENGLISH HOUSE explores six aspects of the home through British history, including planning, architectural fashion, decoration, possessions and technical developments. The series finishes with a dramatic reconstruction of how an Edwardian country house was run. Narrated by Sir John Gielgud, THE ENGLISH GARDEN takes the viewer from the time of the Romans through the days of Medieval knot gardens and simple herb gardens to the glories of William Kent and Capability Brown. The programs come beautifully packaged in a gift box featuring photos from the National Trust, and inside you'll find two custom tea bags and a collector's spoon! |
